[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 304066, member: 2736"] Yes it is important !!! the reason I like doing it this way is that I can control the amount of annealing (Just past the body to shoulder by about 1/8 of an inch). And I don't heat it till it turns red ,Just until the brass starts to change color (500o to 600o) . Also I hold the propane torch vertical to the case and in the center of the neck mouth about 3 to 5 inches above it . this allows the heat to travel down the brass evenly and the water stops it so that it is a gradual change in the annealing instead of a sudden change in hardness. It is very easy to control and with a little practice is very fast and does a good looking job. I hope This answered your question. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
